In Drupal 8 we have a Configuration Manager module, which provides an easy interface to export and import site configurations and share between different environments of the project, such as development, staging, and deployment. You can easily verify the changes from your production environment using this module.
This module assumes your different environment; for example, dev, staging, testing, and production are the same site. Each site is identified using a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). The module will allow importing of configuration between different sites only when the UUID matches the target site.
By default, Drupal 8 saves all site configurations in the database. When installing the new Drupal site, it creates a new folder in sites/default/files
named config_HASH
. Here, HASH is a randomly generated long string of numbers and letters. Refer to this screenshot:
This is where the configuration of different states of the site is saved...
